Veggie Booty snack being recalled

From staff reports
The Food and Drug Administration has issued a statement warning consumers not to eat Veggie Booty snack food, according to a press release on its Web site.

The warning is based on 52 reports of Salmonella Wadsworth illness --including two in New Jersey -- that have been reported around the country since March and are related to the consumption of the snack.

Veggie Booty, marketed by Robert's American Gourmet, is sold in a flexible plastic foil bag in four ounce, one ounce and half-ounce packages.

The snack is often consumed by children, so parents are encouraged to watch their children, and seek medical care if they observe signs of illness.

Robert's American Gourmet is recalling all of the potentially contaminated product, including all expiration dates and lot codes.
